It must have been the drumming that woke him. Why did he feel so uneasy? Phil was gone. "I thought you'd never see me." Ivan took a step back, tripped, and sprawled on the ground. A girl was perched on a small platform near the top of the pole. "We have to go. Now." Ivan wants to get away from his life and the small town where he lives, and finds himself in a place where everything is disturbingly the same, and yet unnervingly different. Cassie thinks Ivan is clueless, while he thinks she's the prettiest - and most annoying - girl he's ever met. Meanwhile the sensitive Reenie and the enigmatic Phil have other complications to untangle. Ivan, Cassie, Reenie and Phil will have to do a lot of thinking, motorbike riding and taking the unexpected in their stride, and will need to draw on courage they didn't know they had, before they can find what is lost and get to where they want to be. An adventure/fantasy story for high school aged readers to adults.
